# Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth comprise the third set of molars in the rear of our mouth, and are the final set of teeth to grow in during the early stages of adulthood. In the majority of people, however, these sets of teeth tend to cause problems.

Wisdom Teeth can cause crowding, grow in misaligned or may be "impacted" because they have not fully broken through the gum line. Even if you do not experience any pain, a dental visit is recommended so your dentist can examine your teeth and foresee any problems in the future, and will discuss your oral health with you in depth.

Wisdom teeth may not grow in properly, or only partially, and may need removal before triggering infection or further problems.

If you experience any of the following, it is a sign that wisdom teeth need removal:
